Dear Friend,
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and TOP SECRET. I got your contact in our search for a foreign partner who has the Ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of greatmagnitude involving a deposited fund of my late client which required maximum confidence.
I am Barrister Michael lawrence. (Esq) a solicitor. I was the Personal Attorney to late Henry Williams an oil merchant/contractor with CHEVRON PETROLEUM COMPANY. On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in an automobile accident and unfortunately they lost their lives.
Before my Client died, He had a huge fund deposit valued at US$9,000,000,00 Dollars in a Eco Bank Ltd. As his personal Attorney, I am in possesion of all legal documents which shows the entire transaction between him and this Bank in relation to this fund deposit. Consequently the Bank mandated me to look out for any of his extended family relatives to stand inas the next of kin/beneficiary of this fund deposit.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended family relatives, but to no avail. After many unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, but this attempt was equally unsuccessful.
Unfortunately, yestaday 5th day of January, 2005, the Eco Bank Ltd. gave me an ultimatum of Ten working days to provide the next of Kin or have this fund confiscated. This is why I have contacted you to render assistance in repartrating the money and properties left behind by my client, before they will be confiscated
or declared unserviceable by this bank.
Since I have been unsuccesful in locating the relatives for over two years, and coincidentally
you are from the same country, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin/beneficiary of late Henry Williams fund deposit with this Bank for our mutual benefit. For your assistance,
you will be adequately compensated with 40% of the total sum. 55% will be for me, and 5% will be set aside to offset all incidential expences that might be incured in the causeof this transaction. e.g phone call, payment of tax if so required by your government etc. This transaction is 100% risk free as I have
all necessary legal documents to backup all our claims.
I guarantee you that the entire transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law,as all documents/affidavit that willbe required by Eco Bank Ltd. before the release of the fund will be procurred legally from the federal high court of justice.
All I require from you is honesty and cooperation. Please realise that the confidentiality of this arrangement must be maintained from now, and even after the successful complition of this transaction,to enable us see this deal through. If you will assist me, Please contact me via my private office box.
